ELMWOOD, N.J. -- A Wanaque man robbed a Walgreens in Elmwood Park at gunpoint nearly a year to the day that he was grazed by bullet fragments in a Paterson police shooting, said authorities who arrested him after posting a surveillance photo.

Mann remained held in the Bergen County Jail -- charged with armed robbery, among other counts -- pending a bail hearing.

Mann and another man were struck last Feb. 25 by fragments of a bullet fired by an off-duty police officer near a 7-Eleven on Main Street near Market Street in Paterson.

A Passaic County grand jury indicted the officer last fall.

The Elmwood Park Walgreens store manager and cashier told police the robber entered the Broadway store around 11:30 p.m. Friday (Feb. 24), pointed a silver handgun and took an undetermined amount of cash and some merchandise near the register.
